Amazon Says FCC Licensing Body Is Wrong Set-Top Approach

Amazon execs met with a top aide to FCC commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel last week to pitch their take on the FCC’s app-based set-top revamp order, including that a proposed licensing body is the wrong way to go.

That item remains among the commissioners for vetting after FCC chairman Tom Wheeler pulled the item from a public meeting vote in September after, it is widely believed, Rosenworcel still had issues with its impact on copyrights and contracts.
